Its “ generosity will inspire hundreds of young minds this year and into the future. Stephanie Baker, Deputy Superintendent, Pomona USD [Alondra] has so much potential and we do everything we can for her, but getting “ “ the Internet at home is really expensive. Now my daughter can stay home to complete her assignments instead of staying late at friends’ houses. Michelle Melendez, Parent of 1Million Project Recipient With the 1Million Project I’m able to just do much more than “ I was capable before. Now that I have the device I can just “ be at home and actually do my homework on time, [at a] reasonable hour and get enough hours of rest.
